Wait - it’s intentionally meant to sound like “space sex” right? I mean, it’s not 1:1 but it’s very close. Say it out loud 10 times.

But maybe possible it’s just all about the letter X for him?

Also, to clarify, I don’t dislike the guy. Nor do I dislike his naming. Just pointing out what I thought was the obvious.

Unless there's something I'm missing, he has a long history with being obsessed with naming things "X". Maybe it's a thing he thought about tongue in cheek, but I kind of doubt it's as intentional as folks in this thread are making it out to be.

fwiw, I don't like Elon and I think this whole thread is kinda distracting to actual points about Elon that don't need Olympic size hurdles to understand.

Fair enough. I didn’t know the X history. Twitter rename makes more sense now.
